People often confuse your desire for the bare necessities with a need for bottles of ketchup and mustard, but you can get your basics covered with today's deal from Basic Necessities: Pay $10 for $20 to spend on gourmet condiments, bread, and cheese at this European-inspired shop, or on food and non-alcoholic drinks in the café. Take a drive into the Blue Ridge Mountains and stop in at this cozy Nellyford spot for dishes like a Basic Necessities salad: a bed of mesclun topped with garlic, onions, Craisins, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta, then drizzled with house vinaigrette. Or, stop in the store for locally sourced food and ingredients. Your friends may not understand your need for fresh-made quiche, but owners Kay, Keith, and Bev are willing to lend a hand; just check for the vintage bottle on Rockfish Valley Highway.
